He comes up with one bad idea after another. He’s addicted to chaos and the attention it brings him. It doesn’t matter if people die or get ruined financially. He’s not America first, he’s about himself. Has always been that way. I cant imagine how he didn’t get that Nobel Peace prize he cried for
knee jerk
bad idea
not thinking
impulse driven leadership.

Short term bandaid if we don’t get the Strait of Hormuz opened up.

Not sure if serious. Biden did it in non wartime to help with a midterm year and a cover for his Green scams. Trump would be doing it for war efforts. You can't be serious, can you????

This is ours AND it's not clear at all to me that Trump cares about the mid-terms (although it is admittedly a mid-term year). Trump ran on a platform of affordability, so this at least makes sense.
Biden spent 2 years even denying inflation was a thing to begin with.

The maga cult has told me over and over that we're not at war and that this bombing campaign that totally isn't an act of war will be over in no time and things will return to normal. If this is a short term thing then oil prices should only be up temporarily. Why is this needed then? Isn't the extra 30 cents a gallon worth it to you to kill all these Iranian civilians? You can't be serious, can you?

What's that saying, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Daddy Bush through Brandon Potatohead. Donnie was America First, then he found out who really runs the world.

quote:What does this even mean? What "coffers"? The SPR? Analysts are reporting it really can only be filled about 100K/barrels a day, practically speaking. 200K if you are lucky. This means if it had been pedal to the metal for the last 6 months, it's like only about 20 million barrels extra in there.

What the hell are you talking about? Of course we're at war. We've been at war for the last 12 plus days dumbo. Oh wait, you have your panties in a bunch over the semantics of "no new wars" lol. Bruh, take a lap "we're not at war" lmao.

What does this even mean?
And did he stop to consider the switch to summer blend gas?

Why does the International Energy Agency get involved with USA oil. That is our strategic reserve paid for by American taxpayers. Pretty sick of these "internationals" making decisions for a domestic issue.

Just like I don't know how many tankers we can line up or have in transit.
You tell me... since you seem to know?

Yet Iran has been at war with us since 1979. Trump just figured it out.

Trump was just stupid enough to let Israel push us in to this war.
